So in response to the Tea Parties (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/19/AR2009041902009.html?hpid=topnews), Obama, not wanting to be left out, wants to ride this wave of fiscal conservatism and show that he is serious about cutting spending. So he gets out his budget axe and requests that his cabinet sharpen their pencils and come up with a whopping (drumroll please)....$100 million in cuts!! . How on earth will they find that level of savings? This is a strong signal that things are going to be different right?
where will they find room to cut this whopping three thousandths of one percent of the budget? What will they do, cut back on the Waygu Beef at the Wednesday mixers? Barney Frank to cut back on manicures? Oh the humanity.
